Probably the easiest way to do that is to not enter the dropped the variables in the regression statement, and use the e(V) of that regression.

the estimation I did have lost of
dropped variables, and when I tried to implement:
mat se= vecdiag(cholesky(diag(vecdiag(e(V)))))'
Stata replies saying:
matrix not positive definite
r(506);
How can I trim the zeros from the e(b) and e(V) matrices before I
perform the commands posted by Maarten?
